Dynamic Platform Management for Configurable Platform-Based System-on-Chips

Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering 2001 July 2005 (expected) University of California, San Diego GPA: 3.9 Advisor: Prof. Sujit Dey Research Area: Embedded Systems, Platform-based Design, System-on-Chips Dissertation Title: “Dynamic Platform Management for Configurable Platform-Based System-on-Chips” Abstract: This thesis proposes the use of SoC platforms with dynamically configurable components (configurable CPUs, memories, buses, caches) to bridge the gap between general-purpose and custom design styles. It addresses the design and run-time customization of such platforms in an application-specific manner, to improve applications’ performance and energy efficiency.
